ARREST IN COLD CASE MURDER


Leon Pantoya, 43, has been charged with first- degree murder in the death of his roommate whose body was found buried in a shallow grave three years ago, the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office said.

The grave was dug in a field owned by a member of Pantoya's family, and DNA testing of the remains eventually led to the victim's identity and ultimately Pantoya's arrest.

An autopsy determined Steven Robinson, 39, suffered blunt force and sharp force trauma, the sheriff's office said. Pantoya was also charged with stealing Robinson's identity.
